Abstract:
Describes a new prestressing technology used to connect structures to their foundations. Also describes other methods of anchoring structures by post-tensioning. Several of the principal post-tensioning systems presently in use are illustrated. Examples are shown of a few outstanding structures where these systems and methods have been employed.
